FREE LIST RESOLUTION.

Thursday, February "a, 1857.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1887-09-17
on the Name of Grant.

Col Fred D. Grant, son of Gen. U. S.
Grant, heads the Republican state ticket in
New York for Secretary of State. The
position is not one that requires great talent
or intellect, and Col. Grant may be fitted
for it; but his name, not his merits or
ability, secured the nomination to him.
Had he not been son of the eminent sol
der, it is more than likely he never would
have been thought of for any position.
His selection is designed to catch votes to
save waning organization, but it will not
avail. He will be only Republican, and
will go down with the balance of the ticket.
If Republicans so revere the name of Gen.
Grant, as they profess, it is a mistake to
risk defeat, and consequent implied indif-
ference to his name and fame, by nominal
ing his son. The Republican machine in
the Empire State cares more for success
than for the memory of Grant. If they
can win by nominating his son and trading
upon the fathers reputation and popularity,
well and good. If they fail, the implied
Indifference, which issue they make by
nominating Col Fred. Grant, is nothing to
them. The Democrats should fairly meet
the issue. While meaning to take nothing
from the laurels of the father, they should
rebuke this effort to trade on his reputation
by overwhelmingly defeating the son.

Mr. German is moving about in this cam
paign in noiseless sort of way. He is an
old political soldier, and knows how to keep

The greatest need of the Baltimore base
ball club is intelligent management. The
players are equal to any in the business as
to batting, fielding and base running, while
Smith and Kilroy are unexcelled as pitch
ers and far better than those of most clubs.
Both are overworked Knouff or Shreeve
should have been retained Even if they
could not pitch winning game, they could
at least have allowed rest for the others,
and both Smith and Kilroy would have
been almost certain to have won all in
which they occupied the box. Knouff or
Shreeve would have won enough games
to make up for the losses of Kilroy and
Smith, and Baltimore would have had a
record at the close of the season Of two
thirds won to one-third lost, and would
have stood second if not first.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1887-09-17

Persons participating in primaries, par
tieularly candidates, are in honor bound to
support the ticket as nominated No cam
didate should submit his claims for pre-
ferment, unless he expects to abide by the
decision of his party. He not only should
bow gracefully to that decision, but should
determine in advance to render the party
all the service he is capable of whether
successful or not. The man who goes into
retirement after failure Of nomination,
and allows the ticket to get along as best
it can without him, is not pursuing a course
that will commend him to recognition in
the future.

Activity of the Prohibitionists.

The Prohibitionists are unusually active
throughout the country, and it is evident
they are preparing for the campaign next
year. In every state the party is being
well organized, and state and local tickets
are being placed in the field. The collapse
of the Republican party is evident to all
who take an impartial view of the situa-
ton. 1t is keeping up appearances, by
nominating tickets this year, but it is only
to hold as much of the party together as
possible for the Presidential fight of 1888.
If the party is beaten then, as all indica-
tons promise, it will not exist for another
national campaign. Next year, then, will
be the last appearance of the Republican
party in the field of national politics, and
in its stead will rise up the Prohibition
party.
The Prohibition movement is growing
daily. It's leaders don't expect success this
year nor next, but after the collapse of the
Republican organization they expect great
accessions, and hope to gain secure foot
ing. This accounts for the unusual ac-
tivity of the party, and the growing strength
of the organization is giving the Republi-
cans great concern. Many Republicans,
of prohibition tendencies, seeing the inev-
table downfall of their party, are inclined
to go at once over to the Prohibitionists,
and some have already allied themselves
with that party. In consequence some
Republicans are using persuasive arguments,
and holding out hope of Republican sue
cess to restrain them, while some of the
rabid Republican journals are resorting to
threats and abuse.

Herr Most, the Socialist and agitator,
applied for naturalization in New York last
week, and it was denied him. No man
holding such murderous and revolutionary
views as Most does can become a citizen
of this country. He is better fit for the
prison than to exercise the privileges of
American citizenship.
